This is an initial take at renaming the project to Monitoring Plugins. It's not expected to be fully complete, and it is expected to break things (The perl module for instance). More testing will be required before this goes mainline.

Monitoring Plugins
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
* For instructions on installing these plugins for use with Nagios,
|
|
see below. In addition, generic instructions for the GNU toolchain can be
|
|
found in the `INSTALL` file.
|
|
|
|
* For major changes between releases, read the `NEWS` file.
|
|
|
|
* For information on detailed changes that have been made or plugins
|
|
that have been added, read the `ChangeLog` file.
|
|
|
|
* Some plugins require that you have additional programs and/or
|
|
libraries installed on your system before they can be used. Plugins that
|
|
are dependent on other programs/libraries that are missing are usually not
|
|
compiled. Read the `REQUIREMENTS` file for more information.
|
|
|
|
* Individual plugins are self-documenting. All plugins that comply with
|
|
the basic guidelines for development will provide detailed help when
|
|
invoked with the `-h` or `--help` options.
|
|

Send an email to <help@monitoring-plugins.org> for assistance.
|
|
Please include the OS type and version that you are using. Also, run the
|
|
plugin with the `-vvv` option and provide the resulting version information.
|
|
Of course, there may be additional diagnostic information required as well.
|
|
Use good judgment.

Installation Instructions
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. If you are using the Git tree, you will need m4, gettext, automake, and
|
|
autoconf. To start out, run:
|
|
|
|
./tools/setup
|
|
|
|
For more detail, see the developer guidelines at
|
|
<https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html>.
|
|
|
|
2. Run the configure script to initialize variables and create a Makefile,
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=BASEDIRECTORY --with-cgiurl=SOMEURL
|
|
|
|
Replace `BASEDIRECTORY` with the path of the directory under which Nagios
|
|
is installed (default is `/usr/local/nagios`), and replace `SOMEURL` with
|
|
the path used to access the Nagios CGIs with a web browser (default is
|
|
`/nagios/cgi-bin`).
|
|
|
|
3. Compile the plugins with the following command:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
4. Install the compiled plugins and plugin scripts with the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
The installation procedure will attempt to place the plugins in a
|
|
`libexec/` subdirectory in the base directory you specified with the
|
|
`--prefix` argument to the configure script.
|
|
|
|
5. There are some plugins that require setuid. If you run make install as
|
|
a non-root user, they will not be installed. To install, switch to root
|
|
and run:
|
|
|
|
make install-root
|
|
|
|
That's it! If you have any problems or questions, feel free to send an
|
|
email to <help@monitoring-plugins.org>.
